He said he wanted to take down all Thorn Ridge in one go, but he still had to rest for two days. The main reason was that the members of the knight team had some minor injuries, and even Marcus's leg was bruised.
Possessing fighting spirit, he recovers quickly from minor injuries.
Two days are enough to relieve physical fatigue and allow the wounds to scab.
Liszt had no injuries on his body. After a good sleep, he was energized and adjusted to the best condition. He was very excited and galloped on the racecourse. He practiced <Fire Dragon Drill>, <Flame Wave> and <Multiple Arrow> several times. I gained a lot of experience in this actual battle.
He felt that the fighting spirit in his body had also skyrocketed. Originally, he was just a delicate nobleman, a rookie among Earth Knight. Now he has laid a solid foundation and made great strides towards becoming an elite Earth Knight.
Compared with Marcus, it is almost a tie - the experience is not as good, and the fighting spirit is not enough, but with Magic Eye and Red Blood Sword, it is hard to say if they really fight.
"I think we should have a 50-50 draw against Marcus!" He estimated.
In the blink of an eye, he saw the shiny-haired Dousen running wildly on the racecourse, as if he could use all his strength. He made another calculation. "With the help of Dousen, Marcus is by no means my opponent. In fact, I think that Dousen alone can beat Marcus 50-50."
After eating Bloodline Fruit's Dousen, I still can't tell whether the bloodline has evolved or not.
There is still too little knowledge in this area.
But the amount of magic in Dousen has definitely increased dramatically. In the past, it could release Rock Spike at most ten or twenty times a day. Now it can release Rock Spike from morning to night. I dare not say that it can be released fifty times, but thirty-five times is definitely not a problem.
For this reason, Dousen Avenue's road construction progress has been greatly improved.
"Dousen, release the magic!"
Hooray!
A Rock Spike stabbed out from the ground, which was more than half the size of the Rock Spike released by Dousen before. The amount of stone produced in one day was more than the previous three or four days. It was like a small "Rock Dragon" - according to a knight novel called "Mercenary World", the dragon looked a bit like a dog when it was young.
In general, Dousen, who has seen blood, has more than doubled in strength, but it is still far from the strength of an intermediate monster. His recovery ability has increased dramatically, and the wounds on his body are almost completely healed.
"Looking at the current performance of Dousen, it is not a waste of Bloodline Fruit. At least it is much better than the failure of evolution."
This is a cleanup.
He is satisfied.
Shadow Snake's snake skin is a good material for making leather armor linings. There are some Flame's burn marks, but overall it's still in good condition and can be sold for at least ten gold coins.
Of the two Violent Earth Dog, one was completely charred and could only be kept for Liszt to eat; the other's fur was mostly chopped off by Marcus, so it couldn't be sold for a high price. The internal organs could be sold to the magician, but most of them were left to be eaten by oneself. Now the castle is not short of so many gold coins.
The two big teeth of Thunderfang Boar are excellent forging materials and very suitable for making Magic Power equipment. Each tooth can be sold for at least five gold coins. In addition, pig skin is also a good material for making leather armor and can be sold for about ten gold coins. The meat and bones can be kept for eating or sold.
It's not difficult to sell another seven or eight gold coins.
With a huge body, rough skin and thick flesh, Thunderfang Boar is full of treasures.
In addition, there are seven Wind Blade Wolf. Because they were hunted by Dousen, the wounds are not big and the furs are in good condition. Each one can be sold for more than ten gold coins, so it will not be a problem.
According to estimates, this batch of magical beasts can bring Liszt at least one hundred and thirty gold coins.
"Thorn Ridge in the south is probably completely wiped out, and Thorn Ridge in the north is estimated to still have a lot of Warcraft, and we can harvest more than a hundred gold coins. Clearing Thorn Ridge once will not only get Warcraft meat, sell materials for gold coins, but also temper the knight squad, and reduce the threat to the town. It is a good deal."
It's a good deal, but there's only this one crop of Warcraft, and once you kill it, it's gone.
Thorn Ridge's Thorn Forest will also disappear - he has ordered Gortai to reorganize the logging team, making Thorn Ridge completely a thing of the past.
In addition, Blair is also preparing to form a tree planting team, which will plant two kinds of thorns, fast-growing poisonous thorns and fast-growing thorn thorns, on the outer edge of Thorn Ridge.
The fast-growing variety Bramble grows very fast. As long as it is watered with retting fertilizer, it can grow more than ten centimeters overnight.
Among them, Fast-Growing Poison Thorn has been cultivated and has covered several acres of land. The roots can be dug out at any time and transplanted; "Fast-Growing Thorn" was discovered not long ago and is the reward of Smoke Mission - Fast-Growing Thorn Mutation. The branches are thorny and densely packed with large and small spikes, which is very scary.
These two kinds of Bramble are used as hedges and pose little threat to humans. A few shovels can make a gap, but wild beasts and monsters will definitely feel desperate.
"Actually, Thorn Forest's trees have been cut down, and the monsters cannot inhabit it, so Bramble's defensive function is no longer needed. However, in order to let others know that Thorn Ridge is my Flower Town's territory, I should plant a circle of Bramble."
At the time of enfeoffment, the earl said that Flower Town was the territory of Liszt.
However, there is no clear official boundary between where Flower Town comes from. Similarly, Thorn Ridge was an independent dangerous zone before and did not belong to any town.
After Liszt occupies Thorn Ridge, this is the de facto territory of Flower Town, which is a reasonable use of the vulnerability.
"The total area of Thorn Ridge is at least as large as that of Flower Town. In other words, my territory will be fully expanded, and at least half of the land can be reclaimed as farmland!" Regarding his slightly bandit approach, Liszt did not blush at all, and felt happy in his heart.
If he did this after Levis inherited the title, maybe Levis would fall out - nobles value their land very much, and brothers should not take advantage of it.
But now that the count is his father, what can he say if his son takes advantage of the loopholes and works hard to capture Thorn Ridge and take advantage of it.
There is no need to worry about this point with my son, which is originally a "useless" place.
Taking a sip of fresh coconut milk, Liszt counted the time on his fingers.
"Today is September 14th. The Earl's birthday is September 19th. He and Levis have led Coral Island Knights to the mainland to launch a charge. There is no need to hold a birthday party... By the end of this month, Tulip Fleet should be able to come back. By then, the five hundred serfs I purchased will be here..."
He plans to spend a week going through Thorn Ridge thoroughly and hunting down all the monsters.
It will take another month to cut down all the trees, wait for the arrival of the serfs, and quickly open up the wasteland, so that one winter Wheat can be planted before winter.
"Five hundred serfs are still not enough. Sell this batch of Warcraft materials and use a sum of gold coins from the seafood business to collect 600 gold coins to buy 2,500 serfs!"
Previously.
Five hundred serfs, including one hundred craftsmen, require one hundred and twenty gold coins.
According to this ratio, 600 gold coins can just buy 2,000 ordinary serfs and 500 craftsmen.
"I wonder if Pioneer Order can make the serfs cheaper this time. When Levis's confidant Frank comes back, I have to have a good talk with him... War always brings countless refugees. Maybe I can buy a few knights who can't pay the ransom and directly form my own real knight team."
